Following the Cardassian uprising and the obliteration of the Federation reserve fleet in the Pearl Nebula on Stardate 54642.8 (August 23rd, 2377), the Pathfinder was found derelict near Zarush by ChancellorMartok and his small fleet of Klingon Defense Force ships. Martok instructed his warriors to retrieve and repair all of the derelict Federation ships before Ferengi scavengers could seize them. The Pathfinder subsequently participated in Martok's obliteration of the Cardassian base in the system. (TNGvideo game: Armada II mission: "Uprising: A Dagger at Zarush")

The Klingons returned the salvaged ships to the Federation, and the Pathfinder returned to active duty. (TNGvideo game: Armada II)
